You can either love or hate the Great Kat, but
you cannot deny her technical playing ability, sense of humor, nor her strong convictions.
Not for the faint-hearted or the slow-minded, her music and attitude is one of a kind. So
read on to find out what Kat thinks of contemporary metal, the internet, and why everyone
should be listening to and worshipping The GreatKat.

Metal Rules!!After reading your bio which states the well
known fact that after you realized that there was no future in traditional classical music
you turned to hyperspeed metal/classical music. However, the unanswered question is during
this transition phase how did you make the switch? You didn't wake up one day and say ok
"now I'm the high-priest of shred." How long did the transition take in terms of
learning guitar to the point where you felt you were ready? After you began working on
this path how long did it take before you got a band together and you recorded a CD.

Kat Answer:FIRST OF ALL, WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN TO THE GREAT KAT GUITAR GODDESS WEB
SITE AT http://www.greatkat.com and listen to the
most finger-bleeding, blood-dripping, maniacal, barbaric music ever invented: THE GREAT
KATS CYBERSPEED CLASSICAL/METAL MASTERPIECE GUITAR
GODDESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DARE YOU NOT TO GET ENERGIZED within 3
seconds of listening to my powerful, revolutionary music!!!! If you REALLY want to know
about WHAT THE GREAT KAT IS DOING WITH HER SYMPHONIC SPEED MUSIC THEN GO LISTEN TO THE
GENIUS MASTERPIECES FIRST!!!!!!!!

In answer to your question: After graduating from
the prestigious Juilliard School of Music in New York City, winning The Artists
International Competition and making my Carnegie Recital Hall solo violin debut, and
touring the U.S., Mexico and England, I realized that CLASSICAL MUSIC IS DEAD!!!!! To
update Classical Music, you MUST bring it into the present by mixing it with common
Popular music for the common moron masses. After listening to ALL forms of Popular music,
I saw a Judas Priest music video on TV, and decided that Heavy Metal is the ONLY exciting,
powerful and technical popular music that could be mixed with Classical Music. I then
picked up the electric guitar and SYSTEMATICALLY began transcribing all of my violin
solos, runs, scales and fingerings for the guitar. I then began writing music that
combined Classical Music and Speed Metal, called Hyperspeed. After a few
months, I auditioned drummers and bassists to record the FIRST Great Kat EP Satan
Says. The Great Kat has subsequently released Worship Me Or Die! CD,
Beethoven On Speed CD, Digital Beethoven On Cyberspeed Interactive
Multimedia CD/CD-ROM and the NEW BRILLIANT OPUS CD Guitar Goddess!!!!!!

Metal Rules!!I admit the first thing that ever attracted me to you and
your music was the fact that it was so over the top, insane, and because of your
outrageous personality. How important, is this "in your face" kind of image in
comparison to your music? Can the two be separated? Is there a serious side to The Great
Kat?

Kat Answer:WAKE UP!!! THE GREAT KAT IS MORE SERIOUS THAN ANY OF YOUR OTHER SO-CALLED
BANDS THAT WRITE THAT BORING, LONG-WINDED, SUICIDAL, FEEBLE-MINDED, POSER
MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE GREAT KAT IS THE MOST SERIOUS, VICIOUS, ASS-KICKING,
BULLDOG, GET-OUT-OF-MY-WAY, VIOLENT, EGOMANIACAL BRILLIANT, NEUROTIC, PSYCHOTIC,
OBSESSIVE, COMPULSIVE PSYCHO SINCE LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The reason
the persona of The Great Kat is so over the top is because the MUSIC of The
Great Kat is so over the top!!!!!!!!! Listen to The Great Kats
Cyberspeed genius music and I DARE you not to be BLOWN away by The Great Kats
MEGALOMANIACAL, outrageous, blood-dripping, ear-piercing, violent, HONEST,
KICK-THE-DOOR-DOWN, RIP YOUR FACE OFF music!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Metal Rules!!How do you expect a person to review your music? People
may like it but may not be into the image you portray of yourself as a goddess. What would
you say to them?

Kat Answer:I DONT GIVE A CRAP HOW PEOPLE REVIEW MY MUSIC OR IF THEY LIKE MY GODDESS
IMAGE!!!!! Beethoven, Mozart, Paganini, Wagner and ALL revolutionary composers
were CRITICIZED for their music AND their EGOMANIACAL images!! Cyberspeed music is for
intelligent, fast-thinking, pushy, and aggressive success-minded people LIKE THE GREAT
KAT!!!!!! If you SLOW-MINDED, DRUGGED-OUT, SUICIDAL conformist LIARS cant understand
the AMAZING POWER of mixing the brilliance and complexity of Classical music with the RAW,
POWERFUL, VIOLENCE of metal, THEN YOURE AN IDIOT!!!!!! If you dont understand
the ENERGIZING, CYBERGIZING, GET-OUT-OF-MY-WAY, UNSTOPPABLE, VIOLENT PERSONALITY OF THE
HIGH-PRIESTESS OF GUITAR SHRED, THEN YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND MY FURIOUS, SURGE OF VICIOUS
ENERGY MUSIC - CYBERSPEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Metal Rules!!During your transition from classically trained violinist
to metal god, who influenced you or who did you appreciate in the metal realm? What do you
think of Yngwie Malmsteen's guitar playing? His earlier recordings are very much
classically influenced and he also claims Paganini as one of his main influences.

Kat Answer:The Only Brilliant Composer who influences The Great Kat is Beethoven. I listen to
all metal, industrial, etc., including Judas Priest, Megadeth, Ozzy, Nine Inch Nails and
Slayer. But UNDERSTAND THIS VERY CAREFULLY: The Great Kat is NOT a metal guitarist!!!! The
Great Kat is a VIOLIN Virtuoso taking Violin solos and bringing them to the Guitar. I am
systematically taking Classical Music and editing it,

rearranging it, reorchestrating it, recomposing
it and compressing it for the fast-minded, information superhighway, internet obsessed, 5
billion bytes of information PER SECOND mentality of the 21st Century!! THIS IS WHY THE
GREAT KATS CYBERSPEED MUSIC WILL TAKE OVER MUSIC BY THE YEAR 2000!!!! Those other
guitarists like Malmsteen are simply taking the blues and adding a
few diminished arpeggios and some keyboards and FOOLING you IGNORANT PRIMATES into
thinking THAT is NeoClassical Music!!! WAKE
UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Metal Rules!!What contemporary metal bands/musicians do you consider
worth listening to? And what would be your advice be (besides quit...haha) to a person
learning to play the guitar or forming a band????

Kat Answer:There are NO contemporary metal bands/musicians worth listening to EXCEPT THE
GREAT KAT!!! DONT YOUR GET IT?????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!! My Mission in life is
to SAVE Classical Music and MAKE THE WORLD REALIZE the Power, Brilliance and COMPLEX
GENIUS of Classical Music by mixing it with the MORONIC music of the MASSES-Popular Music
(Metal)!!!! NO OTHER music can have any comparison to the ABSOLUTE INTENSITY of
CYBERSPEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Great Kats advice to people learning to
play the guitar or forming a band:
1-PRACTICE your BUTT OFF! Practice until your fingers BONES ARE EXPOSED, and you are
COLLAPSING in pain and YOUR HANDS are BLEEDING!!!!!
2-Learn to READ music! Dont be an UNEDUCATED MORON!!!!
3-BE PUSHY!!!!! DONT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!
4-PROMOTE YOURSELF and KICK BUTT!!!!!

Metal Rules!!What do you think of some of the new directions heavy
music has taken such as death metal, industrial, and grunge?

Kat Answer:WHAT HEAVY MUSIC????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All you masturbating idiots
DESTROYED Heavy Metal Music five years ago!!! You ALLOWED that MINDLESS, Nirvana,
Kill-Yourself, Grunge CRAP and Industrial NOISE to DESTROY METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW THE
GREAT KAT has to NOT ONLY RESURRECT CLASSICAL MUSIC, BUT ALSO METAL!!!!!! Now GET OUT of
MY WAY, LOW-IQ TRUCK-DRIVING LOSERS and LET ME GET TO WORK!!!!!

Metal Rules!!About your newest CD "Guitar Goddess": Why is
it only 4 songs long? Why did you choose to use classical cover material rather than all
your own compositions? Can we expect any videos from it? The only videos of yours I've
seen are: 'Metal Messiah' and 'Beethoven Mosh.' are there others?

Kat Answer:The reason The Great Kats NEW CD Guitar Goddess is the ONLY 4
songs, is BECAUSE YOU FLACCID FAGGOTS CANT HANDLE MORE THAN 4 SONGS OF VICIOUS
JOLTING CYBERSPEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You losers would be on the ground, hyperventilating
if I gave you more than 7 minutes of a Cyberspeed blast!! FAST, SHORT, TO-THE-POINT!!! The
World Wide Web has made EVERYTHING FASTER!!!!!!

Kat Cyberspeeds TWO Classical virtuoso showpieces from Rossini and Sarasate. I also

bloody body parts. Theres Kat SLAVES bowing, LICKING, groveling submissively, PLUS
